# Overview

[Canto](https://docs.canto.io/) is home to *Free Public Infrastructure* (FPI), which is the belief that core DeFi primitives should be made available as feeless public goods.

Whereas independent DeFi protocols tend towards rent-seeking behavior and compete with one another, Canto's FPI primitives concentrate activity and liquidity, thus cultivating more favorable conditions for users and builders.

## Canto's FPI

Free Public Infrastructure protocols on Canto are controlled by chain governance. At this time, Canto's FPI includes the following:
